Revell 1:72 F-4J Phantom II Jolly Rogers

[dcroke77]

This is the 1:72 Revell F-4J Phantom II build from earlier this year.

 

The kit itself is old and poor fitting. Overall, it was primed in UMP Grey primer, Vallejo Model Air black to pre shade/mottle. Then Vallejo Model Air White and Gull Grey for base colours.

Decals were applied with UMP Decal solutions. Weathering was performed with UMP washes.

 

 

There is also a video build over on YouTube of this - 

 

Thanks for looking/watching.

To get this poor fitting kit to this extremely high degree of excellence is a testament to your skills as an artist.

What a lovely F-4 👍 I remember when this was released by Revell I wondered why it was so cheap compared to others....and then i found out why! Your hard work has really paid off on the old kit. It just shows with patience and a nice paint job what results can be achieved.

Thanks for all the kind comments. This kit was a real struggle! Bit of a mojo killer.....bloody box art sucked me in! Still though, makes me look forward to building the Italeri F-4C I have in the stash......

The Italeri kit is nice, I've built a couple so your mojo should bounce back
